| Imran asks rulers to end alliance in ‘war on terror’ |
| 2011-11-26 |
| Chief Imran Khan on Saturday strongly condemned the unprovoked Nato attack on Salala Check Post in the Momand Agency and called upon civilian leadership to immediately withdraw from its alliance from US-led war against terrorism. While terming the attack as an insane and immoral brutality, Khan said such attacks reflected the hollowness and counter-productivity of Pakistan’s involvement in the aimless ‘war on terror’ that had been unleashed to subdue the proud people of the region. The PTI chief was speaking to a public gathering in Shujaabad. He said Pakistan had already sacrificed 40,000 people and an equal number of people had been maimed and become handicapped. Pakistan had also incurred a loss of over $75 billion in the bargain, yet it was being incessantly targeted by the forces of its so-called ‘ally’, he added. The PTI chief said that the government had failed to safeguard Pakistan’s security and strategic interests because of the compromises it had made under the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) with foreign forces to come to power in the country. He said government did not have the moral stature to stand up for defending Pakistan’s strategic interests and should, therefore, quit immediately. |

| #1 I wonder what was really going on at that checkpoint. Our pilots are a cautious bunch, and a concentrated, platoon sized element seems a bit much for a mere checkpoint. |
